IRVINE, Calif., USA, August 23, 2005 - Quest Software Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT), a leading provider of application, database and infrastructure management solutions, today announced that it had been awarded a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Army Contracting Agency Information Technology, E-Commerce, and Commercial Contracting Center (ITEC4) on behalf of the Army Small Computer Program and the Department of Defense (DoD) Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI).

Under the terms of the ordering agreement, Quest can deliver an enterprise license for a full range of application, database and infrastructure tools and services. The BPA is open to all users in the Department of Defense, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Intelligence Community.

Included in the BPA is the full range of Quest products, including:

Application Management tools to detect, diagnose and resolve application performance issues before they impact end users.

Infrastructure Management products to simplify, automate and secure the Microsoft infrastructure, integrate Unix and Linux servers with that infrastructure, and provide reports essential for regulatory compliance. Quest solutions also reduce the time, cost, complexity and anxiety associated with migration projects.

The BPA particularly recognized the value of the company's products for Active Directory, naming them a best value for the government. As a result, DOD users can order Quest's products for Active Directory management, restructuring and data recovery without seeking an internal statement of work or a competitive bid.

"Quest has a long history of providing DoD agencies with products that derive increased performance, productivity, reliability and availability from critical technology platforms," said Paul Garver, vice president of public sector sales for Quest Software. "This blanket purchase agreement simply makes it easier for defense department employees to purchase and use Quest's software and services for their enterprise resource planning, enterprise management and database projects. This agreement is a testament to the strength of our solutions and the value they are providing our government customers."
